PUBMED – BEYOND THE BASICS
Friday, October 27 1:00 to 2:30
This 90-minute class focuses on searching PubMed with greater precision. Topics covered include using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), finding information in specific journals, locating systematic reviews or EBM articles with “Clinical Queries”, and storing search strategies on NLM’s server for re-execution at a later date. Attendees are expected to be familiar with the basics of PubMed.
ENDNOTE
Monday, October 30 1:00 to 2:30
Bibliographies made easy. Learn how to use this tool to search online bibliographic databases, organize the references and build lists of cited works automatically.
WEB OF SCIENCE / JOURNAL CITATION REPORTS
Tuesday, October 31 10:30 to 12:00
The Web of Science (WOS) database indexes citations from 8,000 premiere journals published internationally for years 1994 through 2006. WOS indexes topics in medicine, social sciences and humanities. It can be used by authors to determine who has cited their work (“cited reference searching”). The instructor will also demonstrate use of Journal Citation Reports (JCR), a comprehensive and unique E-resource that allows a searcher to evaluate or compare individual journal titles using citation data drawn from 7,500 scholarly and technical journals published in 60 countries by over 3,300 publishers. Citation and article counts are important indicators of how frequently current researchers are using individual journals. By tabulating and aggregating citation and article counts, JCR offers a unique perspective for faculty who are interested in comparing or evaluating publications in 300 academic disciplines for years 2003, 2004, and 2005.
